Very nice. I got a similar one back right before Christmas - right down to the slight tilt on the bottom border. That is one card (also other '55 and '56s) that always seems to still look good, even in lower grade. Congrats!

Awesome pickup. Congrats!!
I kinda giggle every time I see that card, because it seems like after they finished the shoot, the photog must've said, "Hey, Willie, can we just get one more quick one?" and had him re-pose. That's why his left thumb is on the same side of the bat as his other fingers - he's not gripping it like a normal player. It's as if he just grabbed the bat quickly for a last second 'pretend you're at the plate' pose, then dropped the bat and left.
